Nguyen created the Dragon Dress as an everyday dress that she occasionally wore. She has a difficult time finding clothes that match her unique style so she often makes her own clothing or alters clothes to match her vision. Nguyen makes dresses without the use of patterns or drapery techniques. She simply starts by measuring, cutting and sewing the shapes together. She made over 400 dresses and clothing in the first 3 years of living in the USA.
